ROSTER TALK: Mavs favs for Vogel if no HC job exists. Kyrie handshake deal?

[mvossman]

Just makes it sound so easy. We have exactly enough assets (aka future 1st round picks only) to fire one more bullet and recent trade history suggests we can´t even hit a 7´4 target.

Especially given that Cuban refuses to add younger players that could develop into something next to Luka.

Jalen Smith has re-signed/will re-sign with the Pacers for 9/2 in case some missed it, while we haven chosen to give 20/3 to McGee after his own team rejected him in favour of Biyombo.

I'm not saying it will be easy.  I'm saying it does not need to be desperate, especially when our current access to future assets is limited.  We can't afford to make another KP mistake, so the last thing we want to do right now is make a move because we feel like we have to.

I was a huge proponent of signing Jalen Smith, and have been vocal about my annoyance we went the McGee route instead of somebody like Jalen.  But lets not misrepresent the McGee signing.  His team got outbid for him, apparently by both us and the Bucks, and that is why they downshifted to Biyombo.
